Roshni is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin—rendered in Hindi and Urdu as rosh-nee (/rɔʃˈni/)—that literally signifies “light” or “brightness.” Analytically, it carries connotations of clarity, guidance and intellectual illumination, making it a technically appealing choice for parents who value semantic precision. In the United States, Roshni has appeared in the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 girls’ names since the mid-1970s, achieving its highest rank of 761 in 1983; in the past five years it has averaged fewer than a dozen annual occurrences, placing it in the mid-900s. Its measured stability—despite low frequency—reflects steady use within Anglo-American communities of South Asian heritage.
